Correct answer: Encrypt data and maintain data integrity., Maintain identity and access management controls..
Why this is the answer
Under the shared responsibility model, AWS is responsible for the security of the cloud, while the customer is responsible for security in the cloud. Encrypting data and maintaining data integrity are customer responsibilities, as these relate to the content and configuration of their data within AWS services. Similarly, managing identity and access management (IAM) controls, including users, groups, and permissions, falls under the customer's purview to secure access to their resources. Securing the virtualization layer and Availability Zones are AWS responsibilities, as these are part of the underlying infrastructure. Patching the Amazon RDS operating system is also an AWS responsibility, as RDS is a managed service where AWS handles the underlying infrastructure and OS patching.
